, yet everyone hangs from their balls as if this is the shoe equivalent of the Sistine chapel.
Don't know what forum you're reading. The one I'm on has a couple people casually being interested in a cupsole slip on. I've read the same rant as yours 100 times on here and have even made similar remarks myself.
There’s very little to get excited about in modern skate footwear Rightnow, and watching people gobble the imaginary cock of a company churning out clone after clone of the same shit is hilarious.
In a huge Converse fanboi, but atleast their regurgitated shit is classic design.
So Cons (which were the worst skate shoes I ever owned besides Vans) gets a pass because you like their regurgitated designs? Got it.
You sure get a lot of kicks, huh?
Which model? Needs more details.
No ones ever shit on the classic look of the chucks, buts let’s hear about your vulc winos outlasting a cup sole shoe.
I’m also far more flip than grind, so I probably wear a shoe quicker than the majority of posters here.
These are the Cons I had - I was stoked on them for about one session, after which they turned into shapeless, supportless muffins. Only other shoes I ever had that soft were some (coincidentally) Emerica's in 1997.
I personally can't stand the look of Chucks, but I get that a lot of people like that type of shoe. All I see is a 100 year old shoe that's paper thin with way too many lace holes that you can buy in every store on earth. And I don't really skate vulcs, pretty much only cupsoles these days - the Wino Slips I got aren't for skating.
I'm not even a diehard Emerica fan - the team is sick but they're not really my vibe to be honest. Also not feeling the Dixon shoe, or the normal/G6 Wino, but I like this particular color pf the slip on. The Herman G6 was one of the best skate shoes I've ever had and I skated multiple pairs. About to finally skate some Dose's I've had for 2 years but the sole was a bit too thick for my tastes so I waited til a lot of walking broke them in. I saw the Americana in some really nice suede colorways recently, and the Spanky G6 in the white suede looks really nice in person.
I will agree with people saying they'd like to see Emerica release some slightly more technical shoes again, but none of us are looking at their sales reports and market research so maybe they're not seeing enough demand for that stuff?
Even though those Cons I had were absolute shit, I'm not gonna judge a whole brand on that one experience. It sounds like you used to like Emerica but they don't make what you want to skate anymore. Understandable. The holier-than-thou attitude you espouse in regards to those who don't like the same things as you is a bit tired though. And the hate directed at Emerica makes it sound like someone there broke your heart in the past, lol.
